Well, if anyone cares, or reads this.
I got my parts to complete my [green]Diamond Lower.[/green]
I Ordered a Parts Kit from [green]American Spirit Arms[/green]. [url]http://www.gunkits.com[/url]
I got the 16" Flattop-Bull Barrel-Kit w/ the optional Hard Chrome Bolt & Carrier, and the Detachable Front Sight and Gas Block.
This was the first kit AR-15 I have built, I have several other AR's, and I have built several 10/22's, so I was pretty sure I could handle it. Well it turned out to be ALOT easier then I thought it would.
To start the Kit was beautiful! It was packed, in a extremely nice box that was foam fitted to all the parts, it really did include every part needed just like they said. Everything went together well.
My only problem and then a gripe is, not sure whos part was wrong [green](Diamond, or ASA)[/green] but the bolt hold open piece would not fit down in the reciever, I measured it and the slot in the reciever and hold open was 2.5 thousands of an inch bigger, so I got out my other AR's and did some part swapping and got one that fit.
My gripe would be that the barrel on the upper looks like it was turned in the lathe and then put in the upper with no polishing or anything extra done, so you can still see the tooling. Maybe some would like that effect, but I have too say I would like polish better, oh well should of got fluted!
The Lower does fit my 30 rnd'ers just find.
Here is a couple of pics if you want to see them:
